I am so with Jeff, I was packin 2 Phasers since I kept my sides towards them at all times.Only when I had to Photon an enemy without shields did I turn my front towards em. Don't need a disruptor for that.

The show started out talky and boring. Once Sisko got his little toy starship, things got better. By the time DS9 started to kick butt (around Season 6) it was already too late. The final stretch was quite bad, as the show turned into pseudo-religious soap opera insurgence crap with loads of plot padding and filler. But that's Ronald D. Moore for ya. Also, introducing a singing hologram - worst idea ever.

Freakin awesome end to these videos. Kind of sad that no matter how badly I want to play this game, I just can't get back into PC gaming at this point in my life. Really cool to have Dave back for this final episode as I find him to be secretly one of the funniest staffers. As much as I like Dave though, I've got to agree with everyone else on staff that DS9 was pretty awful. Full disclosure, I've watched all the non-Bacula series and thought DS9 was definately the worst. That's not to say that I hated all of it: really liked the tactical episodes of which there were very few, enjoyed the Cardassian and Ferengie parts to an extent since they had really good actors, and I thought the Dominion made for a pretty interesting nemesis for the Federation. I could go on, but probably should save it for some Star Trek forum to which I dont subscribe. Bottom line is that Star Trek Online looks cool, Star Trek is awesome, and Giantbomb is the most awesomerest.

I thought I would mention that you can sit at your Bridge chair. It turns out that sitting is an emote and you have to jump on the chair, face the screen and use the emote. I uploaded a picture as proof. :)

P.S. I would like to thank you for doing these videos, these videos caused me go and try the beta, the beta caused me to buy the game (and a new gfx card and PSU >_>) and the game has caused me to watch Star Trek for the first time in my life. I started with TNG and it's awesome! So I guess what I'm saying is; thanks for making me a Star Trek fan and I hope to see some of you and possibly some Seabiscuits in game!

Also, those pants didn't look that leathery when I was playing it on the minimal graphics setting.........

@aXone: lol now you know why the Klingon's and Romulans always lost. Actually what you should Do is have a disruptor array. on your aft and have phasers cannon's on your front with Regen shields and Quantum torpedo's and you'll do damage. I made it all the way to L.t. commander just doing that.

A great mini-series, which taught me an awful lot more about Star Trek. My only disappointment is that I didn't actually appear in an episode in the background, just flying lesuirely by in the Exeter. That aside, I look forward to many similar series in the future. :) P.S. I hope there is still an "final episode" to where the End of Beta event happens. That would be good.

I'm running an aft phaser turret and a forward blue disruptor cannon with a torpedo bay. Combat consists of

Close to 10, all stop, start firing, back up as they close in and keep spamming torpedoes as they get close. If I get in trouble I just do a emergency power to shields and what fast maneuvering to position my forward cannon. Pretty much cleans everything up. Going to switch my torpedoes to mines soon though.
